Did McCain VP pick lie in background check?

New claims have emerged that Republican Vice President candidate Sarah Palin (44) lied on the personal questionnaire she filled out to prove herself a viable candidate. A number of scandalous secrets have been uncovered in the Alaska governor’s personal and private lives since she was named Republican Presidential candidate John McCain’s pick to run alongside him.

Palin is also currently under investigation by the US Senate for alleged abuse of power while serving as governor. Her husband Todd was previously arrested for drink driving and, even worse, supports the Alaskan Independent Party as well as the Republicans.

Sarah Palin was a surprise choice as McCain’s running mate, a little-known and young governor. With a woman by his side, the Republican Presidential candidate was hoping to strike a blow to Democratic candidate Barack Obama, but now it looks like Palin may ruin his shot at the Presidency.

Arthur Culvahouse, the man in charge of arranging McCain’s Vice Presidential pick, has also come under scrutiny. When asked if he had thoroughly checked all the details of Palin’s background, he said: “Yes, I think so.”

Culvahouse told Associated Press that Palin immediately informed McCain’s campaign committee of her daughter’s pregnancy and also that she had sought the aid of a lawyer because of the investigation. Culvahouse further said that Palin submitted to a “complete” overview of her personal background before McCain chose her as his running mate.

As part of this process, Palin had to fill out a 70 question survey about her personal and private life. The questionnaire included points such as ‘have you ever paid for sex?’, ‘have you ever taken or sold drugs?’ and ‘have you downloaded pornography from the internet?’

Now that the media has uncovered Palin’s secrets, new claims have been made that she lied in the questionnaire. Shortly after the shocking details started grabbing attention, McCain reportedly sent a team of almost a dozen aides, including lawyers, to Alaska. This attempt at damage control has increased suspicion that Palin was not properly checked out before being chosen.New claims have emerged that Republican Vice President candidate Sarah Palin (44) lied... more

US elections: Why has Obama stalled? No one mentions race

On the eve of the Democrats' convention in Denver, Barack Obama finds himself struggling against a resurgent John McCain. Why isn't Obama doing better in the polls? There is one answer no one wants to hear. Paul Harris reports on how race has become the great unspoken issue in the campaign for the White House - and why it may yet be the decisive factor

Standing next to his street stall of glassware in downtown Denver, Jim Butcher was delighted that Barack Obama and the Democrats were holding their convention in his city this week.

He hoped to make a killing selling his wares to the 50,000 visitors, including 15,000 journalists, who are descending on Colorado's state capital. But Butcher, who is a registered independent, did not intend to vote for Obama in November.

'I think, at the moment, I am going for [John] McCain,' he said. Asked if there was anything Obama could do this week to persuade him to change his mind, Butcher quickly replied: 'Not really. Not much chance of that.'

The reason, he said, was Obama's lack of experience. When asked, he said his decision had nothing to do with the colour of the candidate's skin: 'I don't care about his race.' Then he added a rider that will dismay those who watch with mounting anxiety as McCain steadily gains ground on his Democratic rival for the White House: 'There might be some people who do.'

This week's events in Denver are fast turning into a critical moment in Obama's bid to be America's first black President. What was once seen as an anointing of his candidacy is becoming a chance to right a campaign facing a series of unexpected crises.

The Democrats are starting to struggle in a presidential race which they should be dominating. America is beset by economic troubles, mired in an unpopular foreign war and facing an unpopular Republican party. A stunning 80 per cent of Americans think that the country is heading in the wrong direction. Yet Obama and McCain are virtually tied in the polls. The possible explanations are multiple. The Democratic campaign is being daily assaulted by withering Republican attack ads. At the same time, there are still deep scars in the party left by the ferocious battle between Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton.
